This review is from: 18.00V,2000mAh,Ni-Cd,Hi-quality Replacement Power Tools Battery for MAKITA 6936FD, 6936FDWDE, BMR100, ML183 (Flashlight), SC190DWDE, UB181D, UB181DZ, MAKITA 4334, 5000, 6300, 8000, JR, LS Series, Compatible Part Numbers: 1822, 192826-5, 192827-3 (Misc.)
The battery came promptly and appears to be idenctical to the original Makita, but l am not persuaded. The circular saw that it is powering will cut enthusiastically but l kept thinking that l was having to swap it out (l still have the one it came with) too soon every time and get it back on the charger. Not wanting to be unfair, l tested it yesterday in a way that ought to be demonstrative, one way or the other.
After charging it fully, l began crosscutting 2x4s--- surely a pretty standard task for this type of saw. lt managed 22 cuts with little problem and did get through a 23rd, although it was complaining badly by then and got through it only just. For those of you timing us, it involved about four and a half minutes of cutting. Is this a typical example of what two amp-hours should produce? I just don't know, but l admit that l was hoping for better.
